Well done Empress, ….Finally, the BASS Para EQ
Having long considered, and resisted the ‘standard’ Deluxe Empress Para EQ for sometime, I purchased this Bass version as soon as I saw it.
I really only ‘needed’ something to add active eq slap tone - bass and treble boost and mid cut - to a passive Jazz bass, but I could not resist.
This does so much more. There is so much versatility on offer. Check out the suggested settings in the manual ( you get a paper copy and it’s also online). They are a good starting point to get a great ‘Marcus’ slap tone, a great ‘’Jaco tone, and a nice smooth jazz tone, that can be rolled off in Ashton Barratt reggae territory. What more could you want?
Strangely the pedal doesn’t have an adjustable output level, but I just adjust the input gain on my amp. I could use the ‘boost’ control for changing the output anyway if needed.
It is a pity it does have presets, as it offers so much total variety…but then it wouldn’t be an analog pedal I guess.
In short, a 10/10 product, it’s not cheap, but if you can afford it, buy it, you won’t regret it.

Worth every penny. If you work with graphic EQ in any DAW it is literally the same. I was impressed how Empress put EQ it in just a few knobs. Settings in the guide is a good start to find your own favourite settings. Must have for all bassist.
